Chapter 348: Marriage
This letter of the imperial history became the fuse for Emperor Taichang to quietly disrupt the plans of the nobles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
First of all, Emperor Taichang left half of the dozens of aristocratic girls who were ultimately defeated in the palace, and allowed them to serve as female officials and let them help the queen handle official business.
The remaining half, he became a matchmaker, and when he heard that there was a school-age son who was not married, he asked someone from that family to ask, and then happily gave him a marriage.
The emperor's holy decree gives marriage, this is an honor, and it cannot be refused.
When the two families are already on good terms, it doesn't hurt to get married. But when the two families are not on good terms or even have some grudges, this marriage decree came down, but it made them miserable.
Emperor Taichang seemed to be addicted to being a matchmaker, and successively married all these unsuccessful noblewomen.
There are even those who are selected from the people, and he is also like a noble daughter, who is allowed to marry a famous family as a wife.
It's okay to marry a noble woman, but it's good to be right.
can marry a folk girl, it is really panicked.
A son who received the emperor's marriage decree and married a peasant daughter begged to the palace with a sad face, asking Emperor Taichang to withdraw the decree.
His daughter also happened to be in the final election, and it was not a coincidence that Emperor Taichang married his daughter to the son of a colleague who had some disagreements with him, and asked his son to marry a folk girl.
Emperor Taichang was leisurely, and asked with a smile: "Are you dissatisfied with that girl?" ā
The old minister wiped his tears and said, "Your Majesty, the dog has a favorite person, this ......"
"Oh?" Emperor Taichang's smile faded: "I give him a marriage, he is not satisfied, and he is going to marry the person he likes?" ā
"The old minister is ashamed, the dog is really invisible...... But the old minister couldn't resist him. ā
Emperor Taichang said: "Then it seems that Aiqing, as the head of the family, is a little unqualified." I can't even control my own son, and I can't govern my family, so how can I help me govern the country and the world? ā
Emperor Taichang drafted an edict of dismissal, took off his official hat, and took off his official uniform.
The old minister was stunned, and he didn't wake up when he left the palace gate.
When he returned to the palace in a daze, the angel from the palace immediately withdrew the emperor's marriage edict so that the girl could marry another party.
The angel said with a smile: "The boss is really confused, the emperor gave marriage, what a decent thing, you shirk it in front of the emperor, isn't this embarrassing to the emperor?" said that the prince had a heart, when the emperor asked about the family affairs of the children in the eldest family, you didn't say anything about it, and when it came to shirking, the emperor couldn't think that you disliked the girl's origin? Boss, the selection of show girls, and the final selection of these 100 people, but they are all one in a hundred talents, to put it mildly, it is about to enter the palace to serve the emperor. Such a person, you are old but disgusted, tsk. ā
The angel left these words, retrieved the decree of marriage and left, leaving the old minister to weep and regret not being at the beginning.
In a blink of an eye, Emperor Taichang promised to marry the disgusted girl separately, but the person she married was even more shocking.
This person is none other than Emperor Taichang's eldest son, Liu Jingqian.
For everyone, it was a clear warning and a slap in the face.
After all the unsuccessful girls were married, the palace finally calmed down.
Before Emperor Taichang gave his son a marriage, there happened to be a royal history who said that Emperor Taichang was marrying indiscriminately, which was absurd.
Emperor Taichang sneered at the court meeting and put out this letter, and said: "The draft is to select the world's outstanding women to accompany the king, and the women who can reach the final selection stage will definitely be worthy of anyone in the world." Didn't you keep clamoring for me to be drafted, and why weren't you satisfied? The people I have chosen, how dare you dislike them? These women are qualified to accompany the king and drive, why are they not qualified to be your daughters-in-law? Unless, you know in your hearts that those are crooked melons and cracked dates, and you refuse to ask for them, so you throw them to me, is that so? ā
"The ministers are terrified...... "The ministers hurriedly knelt down, trembling in their hearts.
This emperor is really not a foolish lord......
"That's right." Emperor Taichang's voice changed, but he said: "I have looked at the final selection list, among the hundred people, seventy-three are from nobles, fifteen are from merchants, and only twelve are really from the people. If you want to say that this draft is fair and just, I don't necessarily look at it. You just have to fool me, can't you let me fool you? My marriage decree has been issued, and those who are from noble families have your own mother's family to help support you, but the merchants and folk women, one has no status and the other has no power and wealth, and they have entered the door of your so-called nobles, so as not to be bullied, of course, I can't sit idly by. ā
Emperor Taichang snorted coldly: "I will leave the words here today, but anyone who spoils his concubine and destroys his wife, his people, and his family, let me get out of the court." If you want to re-enter the office, you can honestly enter through the imperial examination, and it is not too late for me to think about it. Oh yes, and don't try to do it in private. If you can enter the final selection, it means that your body must be healthy. If you get married, you suddenly die of illness...... The Criminal Department is not for fun. Do you understand everything? ā
"Ministers, understand ......"
Although they were not so willing, the ministers were shocked by Emperor Taichang's attitude.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Taichang gave his eldest son a marriage.
The old minister, who was only a four-grade but was dismissed, heard that the folk girl who was disliked by his family flew up to the branch and became the eldest concubine of the emperor, even if she couldn't afford to be sick, she almost suffered a stroke, so she could only rest in bed.
This is not the end of the story.
Emperor Taichang mentioned the imperial history of impeaching the empress for being unvirtuous and jealous, and asked him why he made such remarks.
Yu Shi was already shocked by Emperor Taichang's actions in handling everything after the draft, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's harem has queens, four concubines, nine concubines, and so on...... The number of His Majesty's concubines is too small, and it does not fit the ancestral system......"
"Oh, so you mean, I have wives and concubines, both children and daughters, and there are successors in the country, but whether I want to or not, I still have to choose concubines?"
"Yes, yes......"
"It seems that Yushi enjoys this kind of thing of hugging left and right, otherwise how can you be so positive even how many women I have? If I really have 3,000 beauties in the harem, I'm afraid that the men in the world will be jealous of me, right? No wonder everyone wants to be emperor, right? ā
"Your Majesty is cautious!"
"I'm telling the truth, look at what you're scared of." Emperor Taichang laughed and said coldly: "I have a virtuous queen, and I have a prince to adulthood, so I don't have to worry about the succession of the country." If you discuss the affairs of the harem again, but you don't want to seek his own government in his position and let him fulfill his duties, I don't mind, and you will change people to do it. ā
"Ministers...... Obey! ā
Liu Tong hunched his waist and smiled.
The draft has passed, and the nobles were caught off guard and were jealous of the emperor.
The official positions of the six ministries have been adjusted, and the powerless but capable people who have been eliminated have also been sorted out.
Then, it's time for these people to come out. (To be continued.) )
